S.T.E.P.: Systematic Training For Effective Parenting
SPRING  2008

 

Being a parent isn't always easy.

Raising children and maintaining the quality of family life is a difficult task. Parent education can help!
The Family Stress Center has been offering Parent Education classes to parents in Contra Costa County since 1978.  We utilize the nationally recognized and praised Systematic Training for Effective Parenting curriculum.  The classes are 8 to 12 weeks long.  The 2-hour sessions are held each week in locations throughout Contra Costa County.
By sharing mutual concerns and working together parents can learn skills that enable them to:

  • Improve parent-child communication

  • Enhance children's self-esteem

  • Be more satisfied with parenting
